IMPROVEMENT IN SASH-RELISHING MACHINES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 1 85,907, dated January2, 1877; application filed June 21, 1876.

1'0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WM. HENRY FISHER, of Selins Grove, Snyder county,Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement inSash-Relishing Machines, of which the following is a specification:

The nature of this invention consists in an ordinary circular saw andits table, an additional table on the same frame for use when themachine is used as a sash-relisher, (the one saw performing the workwhen either table is in use,) and a chisel, automatically moved by themechanism of the machine, and used to cut out the piece of wood betweenthe saw-cuts or relishes. By using this machine the operation ofrelishing sash-rails is performed with only once handling the stuff.

The invention will be readily understood by reference to theaccompanying drawings, of which Figure I is a side elevation of themachine with the top or saw table thrown down, as in use for sawingpurposes. Fig. II is a sectional elevation of the machine, taken on theline as w of Fig. III, showing the saw-table turned up in the positionin which the machine is used for a sash-relisher. Fig. III is a plan ofthe machine, with the top or saw table removed. Fig. IV is a view of themechanism for operating the chisel that cuts out the sash-relishes. Inthis view parts of the machinery are broken out to show the operativeparts to better advantage. Fig. V is a sectional detail of therelishing-chisel and its arbor.

This machine is built on a strong frame, A, that supports all of theoperative parts of the machine. A top or saw-table, B, is hinged at b toone side of the frame A, and arranged to be laid down fiat on the top ofthe said frame, as shown in Fig. I, or raised up, as shown in Fig. II.When this table is laid down flat, as shown in Fig. I, it simply becomesa table on which to rest the work for the circular saw C. When the tableB is raised up, as in Fig. II, it is put out of the way, so that thelower work-table D may be used.

The saw 0 is mounted on an arbor, C,

which has its bearings in the frame A, below the table B, and above thetop plane of the table D. This saw is used in common for the work oneither table, as may be required. The table D is adjusted as to verticalheight by means of the screw d, and is held in position by means of thefastening-screw d at whatever height may be desired. This table is usedfor the purpose of relishing or cutting the ends of sash-rails, and thechisel E, working across the said table D, and at right angles to thesaw-cut, is used to cut out of the sash-rail the part out off by thesaw.

The chisel E is attached to its arbor E by means of the screw 6 and thejam-nut c, which holds the chisel firmly in its arbor, as is clearlyshown in Fig. V. The arbor E rests in hearings on the adjustable bed F.This bed, with its arbor, is adjusted to its proper working position forthe chisel E by means of the adjusting-screws c and it is adjustedlaterally by means of the set-screw c, all of these set-screws havingtheir bearings in the frame A. The chisel audits arbor are given ahorizontal reciprocating motion by means of the lever G, which ispivoted to the frame A by the pin g, as shown in Fig. III. The front endof the lever G is connected to the bottom of the chisel-arbor by meansof a link, 9 as shown in Fig. IV. This connection permits the freereciprocating motion required by the chisel, and also permits thenecessary adjustment given by the screw e. The lever G is actuated bymeans of the cam H on the counter-shaft H. The groove h of the said camreceives a small lug, g, on the bottom side of the lever G, and soimparts motion to it.

The driving-shaft I, which has its hearings in the bottom part of theframe A, imparts, through the medium of suitable belts and pulleys,motion to both the saw-arbor C and the counter-shaft H.

Having thus described my invention, I desire to claim- 1. The saw 0,with the tables B and D, the chisel E, with its operating-lever G, andcam EI, all arranged upon a common frame, A, and the operative partsdriven by a common driving-shaft, I, as and for the purpose setchisel-arbor E and the frame A as and for forth. the purpose set forth.

2. The chisel E and its operating-arbor E, united together by the screwe and jam-nut WM. H. FISHER. e, as and for the purpose set forth.Witnesses:

3. The bed-plate F, with its adjusting-serews L. R. HUMMEL,

e and 0, arranged in combination with the A. G. FISS.
